@monkbent@jonrussell@horwitzjosh Curious: do you type in Pinyin? -
@maguay@monkbent@jonrussell I type in Pinyin, but shouldn’t. Zhuyin is kinda better for the language-learning reflexes. -
@horwitzjosh@monkbent@jonrussell And that’s essentially an alphabet, no? -
@maguay@monkbent@jonrussell Pinyin = roman phonetic system, zhuyin = own symbols for phonetic system. zhuyin much more accurate. -
@horwitzjosh@monkbent@jonrussell Gottcha. I knew that about Pinyan, but had to Google Zhuyin. Sounds easier than the pictograms! -
@maguay@horwitzjosh@jonrussell I type in pinyin. The fact most communication is electronic has made a huge difference.
